Death to fixie foos.


just looked, seems like theyre mostly on the not recommended reviews page anyway, and noone ever looks there

also not a single one of them was without spelling errors

****em, if they come around again do burnouts on the moped and shoot tire chunks on their bikes and faces

Where do I find these gems ? I'm stuck at home today due to a winter storm and need some entertainment.

Today I can hardly walk. Got this owl on Saturday. Took 8 hours. Today it feels like I got hit in the leg with a sledge hammer like 40 times.

Jealous, I've been on the fence of either building up a computer since my laptop died or getting a new tattoo. Life is filled with hard choices, man.

Damn, 8 hours in one sitting. That's hard core.

Good gawd, man. Is it awful to find it somewhat comforting to know that I am not the only one who encounters silly wrapping issues?

The worst is when you get done, and it looks all "lumpy" haha

I don't have any tattoos so I don't know the drill, but I'm guessing that it was spendy too.
[MENTION=387932]LouCypher[/MENTION]. How long does it take to completely heal?

@LouCypher. How long does it take to completely heal?

Yea I got a really good deal honestly. Normally you would split this tattoo into 2 sessions because most artists don't want to drill on the same thing for that long. Now I understand why someone wouldn't want to get drilled that long lol. These last 2 days have been extremely painful. Even just sitting down feels like ****.

I remember hearing people talking about getting the outlines done in one sitting and the shading done in a second sitting. So when I saw your tattoo I was a little :eek:. It seems like that would take even longer than eight hours. The artist must be really fast ans efficient.

I don't even sleep for eight hours. I'm covered, head to foot, and I've never sat for more than 4. No way.

I'm stupid. It's hard for me to find time to get in the chair so when I get tattoos its always last minute and im trying to get a bunch done.

Severely broke my collar bone last winter playing ice hockey (worst pain ever). Knew I was gonna be off work that Monday so I drove to Cinci to get my chest piece started..... .which covers my collar bone..... Which then became the worst pain I have ever put myself through. Almost passed out im pretty sure.

I went back to try to come up with a solution and they completely blew me off. Last time I ever buy from here. Also, the shop smelled funky (weed). I wouldn't recommend this place.
Just wow.
Anyhow, the writer of the review should've died if anything from those handlebars scrod sold him. :lol:

*waits for owner's yelp rebuttal to said review

Yelp sucks.

Huffandstuff 02-25-15 10:05 AM

I think the smell of weed coming from a bike shop is a good thing.

Unkle Rico 02-25-15 11:21 AM

You mean, that isn't incense?

t x 02-25-15 03:55 PM

Today I came around a turn too fast... pedal strike and down I go. First time I've made contact and wasn't able to recover. The lens came out of my sunglasses and gave me a nice gash along my eyebrow. 8 stitches later, I'm taking the day off of work. Nothing broken and the bike is OK outside of some cosmetic scratches, so I'm not upset, just sore.

Unkle Rico 02-25-15 04:01 PM

I rode my bike to get Taco Bell for lunch -- Havent eaten at one in seriously about 7 years. It was good but know my ass is going to pay for it later
